<p>haha. Got it now. Good job :]</p>
<p>yay thanks :]</p>
<p>Salve, I see you’re in Illinois (as are we, in Chicago NW suburbs) and yesterday I just found a tutor on Craigslist to help my daughter in Math - her worst subject - for the ACT. If you post on Craigslist, be sure to post the ad every few days as they sink lower down in the list and aren’t likely to get seen. </p>
<p>Also talk to department heads at your high school to let them know you are interested in tutoring. Before long parents will be calling them asking for tutors. Some kids are embarrassed to go to the official after school tutoring and would rather have a private tutor.</p>
<p>Make a facebook group and invite all rising juniors you know. Maybe make a website. Offer cheap rates. Have high scores.</p>
<p>Here’s my little program’s website:
<a href=“http://ghsstudentsattutors.webs.com/[/url]”>http://ghsstudentsattutors.webs.com/</a></p>
<p>I tutored someone in exchange for rides to/from school</p>
<p>My school has a tutoring program. You go to the guidance office, get a little yellow sheet, and sign up. If your grades are good, you get to tutor people in the classes you selected. They put you on a little sheet with phone number and address, and parents or students can call you. But I always do it for free, since our school has another tutoring program you can get invited too where they school pays you $15/hr.
I always thought most HS offered tutors.</p>
<p>I actually just got a job by just posting ads! </p>
<p>25 dollars is a lot of money for a high school tutor. 20 dollars tops, unless you are some amazing tutor. I tutored for 15 in high school, and that was good enough to keep me motivated.</p>
<p>no one has responded yet,
maybe i really should lower my price</p>
<p>^Offer a free first lesson and post the price after as 17 (changing if you need to drive far, work inconvenient hours, etc.). Advertise the subject as free math tutor. Even if this is not entirely true, you need to get people to view your ad. </p>
<p>The problem with tutoring in the summer is the demand isn’t nearly as high.</p>
<p>it’s sad,
because that’s what kaplan pays me,
but they charge their clients like $125/hr</p>
<p>good advice,
yeah maybe i’ll try again in the fall,
but then they’ll wonder why i’m in florida,
if i’m supposed to be a caltech student</p>
<p>^are you actually a Caltech student?</p>
<p>i am kind of a caltech student.
i went on medical leave like a week ago,
and they probably won’t let me come back,
because i already came back from medical leave once</p>
<p>Do you want to go back?</p>
<p>I get paid twenty bucks an hour to tutor someone in math. All I wanted was community service hours, but the woman insisted upon paying me. . .</p>
<p>^hahaha. How unfortunate ;)</p>
<p>But I thought tutoring didn’t count as community service…
Was it for school or a company?</p>
<p>Apparently craigslist wants phone verification for accounts posting tutoring ads…</p>
<p>@ fairy_dreams</p>
<p>My school requires 50 tutoring hours to graduate. I feel kinda guilty tutoring for money, actually. But, hey, I can’t really complain THAT much. I mean, it’s not like I named the price. :P</p>
<p>i really bloody wish i could go back,
i really really liked it there,
but i guess i can’t,
at least for another two years if at all</p>
<p>I tutor at the rates of 20-50$ in my area. Teaching 5th to 8th graders! Easy peasy. Even though I am not that smart, meaning good at SAT/ACT and such, teaching and helping these kids understand is quite easy! And it helps with me social skills! </p>
<p>Why not make money with our intellect?</p>
<p>How did you reach out to these kids?</p>
<p>I find that people are rather apprehensive about hiring high school tutors. Most are just enticed by the low pricetags.</p>
